Since the beginning of the year, industrial production activities in the province have continued to face many difficulties, slow recovery and low growth. According to estimates, the industrial production index in 2024 is estimated to increase by 4.35% over the same period last year (compared to the plan of only 4.35%/11%).

Of which, the mining industry increased by 1.86%; the processing and manufacturing industry increased by 5.68%; electricity production and distribution increased by 3.27%; water supply, waste and wastewater management and treatment activities increased by 5.27%.

Regarding trade and service activities, it is estimated that the total retail sales of goods and service revenue will reach VND 34,449 billion (plan VND 34,000 billion), up 12.8% over the same period last year. Import-export turnover through the province in 2024 is estimated at USD 980 million, up 25% over the same period last year.

According to the assessment of the leaders of the Department of Industry and Trade, in the context of inflationary pressure from major economies, the price situation of goods in the area remains relatively stable, core inflation is controlled, the average consumer price index in 2024 is estimated to increase by 4.1% over the same period last year.

Regarding the implementation results of Resolution No. 39, up to now, the province has 16 industrial parks in operation, attracting 175 investment projects with a total registered capital of about 4,680 billion VND; the total investment cost for infrastructure construction of industrial parks is about 261.9 billion VND, meeting about 35.6% of the total capital demand for technical infrastructure investment of industrial parks in the province.

Some of the current shortcomings and limitations are that most industrial parks have not yet invested in a common wastewater drainage system (except for Ai Tu Industrial Park, Trieu Phong district); the total capital investment demand for completing the infrastructure of industrial parks in the area has not been met; the socialization of investment in construction and business of industrial park infrastructure in the province still faces many difficulties.

Implementing the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Industry and Trade has presided over and coordinated with relevant agencies and units to advise on the development of a Resolution regulating policies to support investment in the construction of technical infrastructure for industrial parks in the province to replace Resolution No. 39.

At the meeting, the representative of the Department of Industry and Trade reported on the procedures and the necessity of issuing the resolution. It stated that, with the current situation of extremely difficult funding sources for localities, the requirements for meeting the conditions for industrial park infrastructure before attracting investment projects are increasingly high, while industrial parks in the area are mainly invested with budget capital. Therefore, adjusting the support level in Resolution No. 39 is necessary, in accordance with actual requirements, as a basis for districts, towns and cities to develop and propose the allocation of medium-term public investment capital for investment in developing industrial park infrastructure in the period 2026 - 2030.

Head of the Economic - Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Dang Anh requested the Department of Industry and Trade to promptly absorb the contents related to a number of indicators in the industrial - commercial sector. At the same time, absorb additional opinions on the draft resolution regulating the policy of supporting investment in building technical infrastructure of industrial parks in the province that the department is consulting the Provincial People's Committee to complete the draft resolution, submit to the Economic - Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council for synthesis, complete the verification report, submit to the 28th session of the Provincial People's Council for consideration and decision.
